As we wait for EA Sports FC 26 and the next season of FC Mobile to officially roll out, the hype is already building with leaks and early updates teasing the return of legendary players to the popular sports game. Whether you’re chasing Icons to complete your dream squad or excited about underdog Heroes, there’s a lot to look forward to in the months ahead.

Some of the biggest names in football history are making a comeback, with Diego Maradona, Sir Bobby Charlton, and Franz Beckenbauer now confirmed as Icons in the game. Alongside them, leaks hint at eight brand-new Heroes joining the roster—players fans will remember for their unique flair and unforgettable moments on the field.

Iconic Comebacks in FC Mobile

FC Mobile eagerly anticipates Maradona’s return. After legal issues kept him out of the game for years, he’s now back as an Icon and already featured during the TOTY event. His stats and influence make him an instant top pick for serious players.

Sir Bobby Charlton joins the roster alongside Maradona as a newcomer to FC Mobile. He’s part of the CODE: NEON event and brings with him the legacy of England’s 1966 World Cup win. Rounding out the trio is Franz Beckenbauer, back in the Pitch Beats event. His absence since FIFA Mobile 17 made his return one of the most anticipated, especially for fans of classic defensive play.

New Heroes: Fan Favorites Join the Game

Leaks suggest a wave of new Heroes will hit FC Mobile soon, with players already live in FC Online. These include:

  • Jan Koller: A towering presence in the box, best known for his time with Dortmund and the Czech national team.
  • Mario Mandžukić: A crucial element of Croatia’s World Cup run was its powerful, hardworking forward.
  • Cesc Fàbregas: The midfield general whose passes could change a game, remembered for his time at Arsenal and Barça.
  • Marouane Fellaini: A cult hero known for his distinctive style and clutch performances with Everton and United.

Others on the list include Michael Carrick, Andrea Barzagli, Gilberto Silva, and Esteban Cambiasso—all players who were key parts of dominant club squads and now get the recognition they deserve.

Who Else Might Be Coming?

In addition to the confirmed names, a few surprise returns may also be in store. Gervinho, Seydou Doumbia, and Víctor Ibarbo—known for their blistering pace in FIFA 15—have recently reappeared in EA Sports FC 25. Their fan-favorite status and past impact could make them strong candidates to join FC Mobile next.

With returning legends and new street-level stars, this FC Mobile update is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet. Whether you’re here to collect them all or just want a few icons to flex in Division Rivals, now’s the time to prepare your squad.
